Design

Regardless of the fact the device is amongst the 2012 NXT series, the design of the device is not even close to the 2012 Xperia line up. Instead of the rectangular shape, Xperia Neo L features a totally different design. The top and the bottom of the device are round, hence a very differentiating design from the NXT series. The back of the device is made up of glossy plastic which to be frank, does not looks good at all. The device is a thick one with a thickness of 12.2 mm
